    You kind of covered them, but these are my top tips:
    1) MEDICATION - you might not think you take any, but then you go abroad and find that the stuff that's over-the-counter in your own country isn't available or requires a prescription;
    2) PROOF OF NON-IMMIGRANT INTENT - you will eventually meet a jobsworth immigration inspector and you need to be able to answer his/her questions. Bank statement, tax return, plane ticket, proof of income, rent agreement, lease agreement, property deed, etc. When I go to the US I even have a copy of my entry record that I download from the DHS website;
    3) LUGGAGE - mark up your luggage with tape or chalk, etc. That way they can find it if the tag comes off and also they can ID it faster when you eventually lose it. Last year my flight was cancelled and I was the only person who got my bag back within 24 hours, partly because my bag was easy to ID. They might all have barcodes on them nowadays but that only gives them a general idea of where it is, they still have to look through a pile of bags. Also make sure you have your contact details inside your suitcase;
    4) PHONE - dual-SIM phones aren't that common in N America so I always buy my phones abroad. Bit tricky to use here as some providers block them, but not all of them do. Dual SIM phone makes your life a lot easier abroad, there are apps (e.g. Skype) you can use but a SIM is the easiest way.

    It may sound trivial, but bring your favorite or preferred feminine hygiene products. Not all countries carry the same brands as America or Canada. Many also don't carry tampons, so if that is your preference bring plenty.

    Thanks for the pointers, Alina ! You showed me many things that helps me decide and plan my move later this year that I think will help in many ways. You have the experience that I'm sure is a blessing to you now in this new adventure. I wanted to tell you now as I will be offline, except for my phone for the next few days for computer repairs. Please enjoy your travel there, be safe and keep that smile....you are now set up for some more blessings and happy times for you now. Keep us informed, Cheers!!

    Very usefull video, Alina. I usually put in my "essentials carry on" bag some extra clothes to change (like one pant/shirt/t-shirt/socks/underware) just in case my luggage doesn't arrive inside the same plane and day that I do (lol). This simple trick helped me a couple of times 😀

    Very organized. Yes, it does make travelling much easier and less stressful. Better than wadding everything up and tossing it in a case. I'd like to think I pack well, optimizing space and considering weight. When I ever go overseas, we'll see. Happy travels, stay safe, and have lots of fun. Keep the videos coming.

    @brianwilson8506 Před 4 lety

    Great travel packing tips video. Most of it I know from my own travel experiences. I actually bought doubles of some items and they are always sitting in the suitcases. One thing I'd like to mention though is that if you are bringing permanent press clothes (i.e. it doesn't wrinkle when packed) then instead of folding the clothes you can get a lot more into a bag if you fold once and roll them up (bottom to top so if there are slight wrinkles they are at the bottom of the garment and when worn the bottom of shirts/blouses are tucked in and bottom of pants will straighten when worn). Much like you for this trip I try to co-ordinate and minimize the amount of clothes and weight. You have all that camera gear though, so I'm one bag less than you :-) I don't use Instagram or Twitter so I'll have to wait for future videos. Have fun, stay safe. Bye for now Alina.

    Thanks, Alina. I like your tech accessories organizer idea. I always put my critical documents in ziploc style bags to avoid water damage. The tight sealing, Great Value brand from Walmart is my fav. Do you ever use an under-clothing travel pouch to deter pick-pocketing of money and other valuables? All the best!

    Do you usually take the more expensive airlines rather than the low-cost carriers? Looks like you have heavy luggages to carry. The low-cost carriers usually only allows you to carry very small amount of luggage onto the plane.
